Application November 7, 1947, Serial No. 784,585

2 Claims. 1

The present invention relates to sadiron holders and more particularly to a sadiron holder which may be detachably springably secured to an edge of an ironing board.

The primary objects of the instant invention are to provide such a sadiron holder whose support for the iron is readily adjustable to accommodate sadirons of differing sizes; to provide such a sadiron holder whose support for the iron is manually swingable on its base whereby the holder is more convenient in use for both right and left handed users; to provide such a sadiron holder whose support for the iron is elevated above its base whereby heat from a hot iron is quickly dissipated; and, to provide such a sadiron holder which is reasonably economical in manufacture.

An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ironing board showing the sadiron holder detachably affixed thereto, a sadiron being shown in dotted lines;

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the sadiron holder, the support for the iron being partially swung;

Figure 3 is a sectional view thereof on line 33 of Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a sectional view on line 4-4 of Figure 2; and v Figure 5 is a perspective view of a member adapted to be detachably secured to the rearward end of the holder making it adjustable for supporting difierent sized sadirons.

Referring then to the drawing wherein like parts of the sadiron holder shown are designated by the same numerals in the several views, the same comprises a thin flat base ID of any suitable material such as stamped sheet metal whose rearward end is here shown as having integrally formed curled and springable spaced tail members H whereby the base may be detachably springably secured to any selected portion of the edge of an ironing board 12 and in a manner as best shown in Figure 1.

The upper surface of the support I3 for a sadiron I5 is preferably provided with a sheet of asbestos M to better avoid fire hazard and the support likewise preferably of stamped sheet metal having a blanked out middle portion and a transverse bridge I6 is elevated above the base to better dissipate heat of a hot iron which support is manually swingable above the base on the vertically disposed pintle l1 connecting the base In and bridge l6 whereby the holder is more convenient in use for both right and left handed users.

The rearward end of the support I3 is provided with a rearwardly curled clip I 8 and an elongated stamped sheet metal member IQ of a length substantially equal to the width of the rearward end of the support I4 is provided at its opposite lengths with a finger '20 whereby the member [9 may be detachably secured to the curled end 18 of the support 14 by fitting each finger 210 within the clip l8 as shown in Figures 2 and 5 whereby the holder is readily adjustable to accommodate sadirons of differing sizes.

Preferably the upper surface of the support I3 is provided with a plurality of sadiron retainers 2|, here shown as curled, and spaced upwardly integrally formed portions of the support for preventing slippage of the iron l5.

It will thus be seen that the sadiron holder herein shown and described is provided. with a support for the iron which is readily adjustable to accommodate sadirons of differing sizes, that the sadiron support is manually swingable on its base providing for convenience in use for both right and left handed users, that the support is elevated above its base whereby heat from a hot iron is quickly dissipated, and that the sadiron holder is reasonably economical in manufacture.

While but one specific embodiment of the invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that certain details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of the invention as the same is defined in the following claims.

I claim:

1. A sadiron holder having a base, a support for a sadiron elevated above the base, said support at its rearward end being provided with a member of a length substantially equal to the width of the rearward end of the base, said member being swingable forwardly-rearwardly to provide for ready adjustability of length of the support to accommodate sadirons of diiiering sizes.

2. A sadiron holder having a base, a support for a sadiron elevated and manually swingable above the base, and a member pivotally secured to the rearward end of the support swingable forwardly-rearwardly to provide for ready adjustability of length of the support to accommodate sadirons of differing sizes, said member having a transversely extending part adapted to abut against the rear wall of a sadiron.
